Chapter 1088

Every time Mu Lingchuan’s glass was empty, Miss Ye immediately poured him more alcohol.

Mu Lingchuan knew her intention, but just a few bottles of red wine—these he didn’t care much about.

However, the looks from the bodyguard and the bartender earlier were slightly different…

When it came to the third bottle, Mu Lingchuan’s hand rested on the table, his fingers gently tapping.

“This bottle, I really can’t handle anymore, I can’t hold my liquor, please forgive me, Miss Ye.”

“I drank almost the other two bottles myself, Miss Ye, if you don’t mind, I would like to leave now.”

He propped himself up, supporting his temples with his fingers, gently rubbing them, clearly showing he couldn’t handle more alcohol.

Miss Ye’s face changed slightly, yet she still pushed a full glass of wine in front of him.

Her smile was still bright, like a spring breeze.

“Who doesn’t know that Mr. Mu has a bottomless capacity for liquor? How could just two bottles of red wine knock you down? Mr. Mu, you must be joking.”

She pushed the wine glass toward Mu Lingchuan, still smiling, persisting.

“I’m just a woman, surely you, Mr. Mu, aren’t so petty as to begrudge me for not drinking much, are you?”

Mu Lingchuan continued to rub his temples, even closing his eyes.

His long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow over his eyelids, making him look somewhat fragile.

“Miss Ye doesn’t know, but I’m feeling a bit under the weather today, which has affected my tolerance.”

“Mr. Mu, isn’t this clearly showing disrespect to me? Do you think I don’t deserve to share a drink with you?”

It seemed that Miss Ye really wanted him to drink the wine.

Standing by, Zimo frowned deeply.

Seeing Mu Lingchuan struggle so much, as his employee and personal bodyguard, how could she just stand by and let him suffer?

Miss Ye was being excessive; couldn’t she see that Mr.

Mu genuinely couldn’t drink any more?

“Miss Ye, I will drink this glass for Mr. Mu.”

Suddenly she leaned over, picked up the wine from the table, and before Mu Lingchuan could stop her, she tilted her head back and gulped it down.

Indeed, she finished the entire glass in one go.

Something flashed across Mu Lingchuan’s eyes, and now, his temples genuinely began to throb in pain.

He was pretending to be drunk, even Miss Ye could see it, yet this straightforward girl couldn’t understand.

Didn’t she know that his refusal to drink meant there was definitely something wrong with that glass?

And yet she naively took the bullet for him?

Such a naive girl, entering society, might just be cheated out of everything she has.

Miss Ye stared at Zimo, a vicious gleam in her eyes.

This damn girl actually drank the wine, even claiming to block the drink for Mr.

Mu?

What right does she have?

What status?

Ignoring her, she pushed the bottle toward Mu Lingchuan again: “Mr.

Mu…”

Before she could finish, Zimo forcefully interrupted: “I will drink the rest for Mr.

Mu.”

Zimo gave her no chance to “bully” Mu Lingchuan, grabbing the bottle and tilting it to her mouth, gulping several times!

Mu Lingchuan couldn’t stand it anymore.

He suddenly stood up and snatched the bottle from her hand.

“Mr. Mu…” Zimo was startled, her face already flushed red, and her steps began to falter a bit.

But, she had just drunk, and had not yet felt the effects of the alcohol.
